I have used mine for more than 12 months and the only problem I've had was when I accidentally dropped it and the glass cover got broken. I intend to upgrade to galaxy note II next week and hope it will setve me the way the sII has served me.

can any one help me with the following issue: whenever I receive a Song by BT it by default takes a pic as a thump nail regardless what kind of security is on this pic, and it takes random thump nails when sent to computer or another phone is this can be fixed once and for all?

i've had this phone for about 4 months now and when i first bought it i was having problem with hanging after every charge that was the only problem but after ICS update everything is rocking am loving this phone is versatile

Best smart phone I've owned. I leave it running for at least a month at a time and when I have to reboot it it's because of flaky 3rd party apps. Really good battery life talk time, no better than other phones when using smart phone features.

this is the worst phone i ever had. in 10 months phone has been to service center 8 time. my phone's motherboard has been replaced, touch panel has replaced, battery replaced, charging jack replaced, earphones replaced. only the charger is one thing which is proper with this phone. n customer service is hopeless. never buy any product of samsung

anfath, 17 Oct 2012I bought Samsung Galaxy S II a few days back. I love the phone, except for one problem. Every ... moreI'm also having the same problem...did find any solution for it?? please let me know if you do cause I'm considering changing my phone because of it.

I am running Rootbox 2.2 Android version 4.1.1, Harsh kernel, clockwork mod recovery. CPU oc'ed to 1.35Ghz (throttled).

f the stock 4.0.4 update does not show up in Kies, try setting a proxy from a country that does have the update and it should work. Although flashing an official update from a different country will change the regional radio. You will need to flash back to your country or you will have bad reception.

To get root and flash CWM and custom recovery. You can download the files from XDA Developers and save to the internal sd card. Then go into the stock recovery and flash the exploited CWM/root zip. You need to have the ICS bootloader before applying new custom roms. The easiest way to confirm is to let kies flash the official ICS update. PS: dont forget your gapps files :) google this stuff its easy ^^/

I got this phone while in Japan. The phone is great running stock, but it gets much better after flashing CWM with a custom rom, kernel and radio. The OLED display looks great. The battery lasts for 2 days with moderate usage. It can out perform the i9100, but the cpu governer needs to be changed to see the increase in performance. The 3G now works, since Tmobile is migrating 3G to 1900Mhz.

For all of you having issues with the light sensor, its a bug in the stock kernel. his is easily fixed by flashing a custom kernel and using the stock rom. If you don't know what this means then google it.
